Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors associated with hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP; or high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) are incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to resequence 3 candidate genes, CETP, LIPC, and LIPG, which encode cholesteryl ester transfer protein, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase, respectively, in Thai subjects with HALP and compare them to normolipidemic controls.
